Identify OSHA-defined "Work at Height" scenarios and common fall hazards

Recognize risks from falling objects and hazardous machinery or materials

Course Overview

Does the thought of working several stories up make your heart race, or do you have nerves of steel?

Regardless of your natural inclination toward heights, every worker must respect the serious risks associated with elevation. "The Risk of Falls and Working at Height" serves as a foundational deep-dive into understanding why falls remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides strict requirements aimed at protecting employees from fall hazards across various industries (CFR 29 1926.501). In this course, you will learn to identify potential gravity-related hazards that you might encounter daily, some of which may not be immediately obvious. We will explore how factors like unstable surfaces, unprotected edges, and improper ladder use contribute to dangerous scenarios.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

OSHA defines it as any work where employees are at risk of a fall from an elevated position that could lead to injury or death.

While risks exist in many fields, they are most common in construction, utilities, public works, and the oil and gas industry.

No. Other risks include falling into hazardous machinery or materials and sustaining injuries from falling objects.

High-risk areas include ladders, scaffolding, rooftops, open edges (like pits or trenches), and elevated equipment like towers or turbines.

It is the leading cause of death in the industry; a 2020 OSHA study found that about one-third of construction fatalities resulted from falls to a lower level.
